Death: Starting as the Guardian of Avici Hell

The blood, dark red and almost black, gushed out like a fountain, a spectacular sight, but evaporated in an instant.

There is no such thing.

The pain of severed limbs struck, and a deafening roar echoed through the mountains and forests.

But unlike before, there was a hint of fear and hesitation in his voice.

Gillian, the Great Hollow, looked at the demon-like boy with some fear, suddenly feeling that the other party seemed to be more like a Hollow than he was.

That makes absolutely no sense.

What was thought to be a sure victory turned into a series of defeats due to the opponent's ferocious momentum.

It's not fair to say they were completely powerless; it's more accurate to say they suffered a crushing defeat with not a glimmer of hope for victory in sight.

It's time to retreat. If we don't run now, not only will we lose our tail, but we'll lose the entire Hollow.

However, the moment the Great Hollow had the thought of retreating, the outcome of the battle was already decided.

The sound of something cutting through the air came again.

The Crimson Fire Cannon and Azure Fire Fall intertwined on the blade, unleashing a powerful roar the moment the blade struck!

A scorching wind swept in.

The terror on the Great Void's ferocious face froze instantly. A red line appeared in the middle of that enormous head, extending from top to bottom.

boom!!

Amidst the deafening roar, even the ground beneath the Great Void's feet was cleaved open, and a violent beam of light condensed into a pillar of fire that shot into the sky.

The aftershocks created visible ripples that spread in all directions, uprooting large sturdy trees and turning the battlefield into a scene of utter devastation in an instant.

"Gu..."

The Great Void emitted a barely perceptible sound before vanishing in the howling wind, its life force extinguished, and even its corpse disintegrated, its flesh and blood peeling away and evaporating, leaving only a charred skeleton lying in the deep pit.

However, to Naraku's surprise, at the moment of the Great Hollow's death, ripple-like patterns appeared before his eyes, spreading out like water.

[Successfully slayed the sinful villain, Kirian; sin value 1145; participation rate 100%!]

[Your spiritual pressure has increased; your current spiritual power level is six!]

Your free-for-all skill has been upgraded; your current level is LV48!

[You have gained the power of the void!]

Justice, you've done a fine job!

I thought I would only earn money if I was imprisoned in an underground jail, but I didn't expect that in some cases, I could also withdraw money by killing someone directly.

Now there's no way to avoid it.

The familiar feeling returned, and the tyrannical spiritual pressure violently traveled through the body, burning with scorching heat deep within the soul.

It was even stronger than when it obtained the power of the void last time.

However, Naraku Sora is no longer the weakling he once was. Now, he can use his precise control to firmly keep the Hollow portion within a reasonable range.

However, just as he was merging with Aizen, who was not far away, suddenly appeared beside him using Shunpo.

Without saying a word, they grabbed the person and ran.

next moment.

In the twilight glow and the reflection of the moon, the soil of the entire mountain forest seemed to boil and churn, amidst the roaring sound of intense friction.

A burst of intense flames erupted from it, instantly turning the land within sight into lava.

Naraku Sora stared wide-eyed at the terrifying scene relentlessly rolling in from behind, and couldn't help but mutter a curse under his breath:

"Gan!"

In less than ten seconds, the vast forest was transformed into a scorching inferno!

Does the fact that Chapter 36 isn't closed mean it's open?

A pillar of fire rose, and the earth shook.

Behind them lay an endless, scorching hell, with violent roars erupting from the ground like countless cannonballs exploding in one place, and waves of heat that made one's scalp tingle rolled in.

An apocalyptic scene emerged from the mountains and forests, with scorching winds sweeping through and obliterating everything in sight.

Including the corpse of the Great Hollow, as well as several Shinigami overlapping each other outside the forest.

The visible cracks continued to expand, as if a ferocious beast had opened its blood-red maw, wantonly devouring everything on the earth.

Aizen remained silent, only continuing to drag Naraku away.

Before this apocalyptic vision unfolded, he barely managed to pinpoint the source of the crisis.

Ground.

Long before the group arrived at the forest, someone had already set up a trigger-activated high-sequence multiple breach several meters below.

As long as the spiritual pressure intensity in the vicinity reaches the preset standard, the breakthrough will erupt instantly.

As expected before their departure, the nobles had already begun clearing away any obstacles in their path.

This kind of trigger-based ghost path, which even he could hardly detect, is most likely the work of the five noble families.

"The big one is here."

Narakuku offered a reminder.

Just as Aizen was deep in thought, the lava behind him had risen to the sky, and the violent heat instantly scorched the ground beneath his feet, emitting bursts of pungent smoke.

A profound crisis was brewing all around, and death seemed imminent.

Aizen estimated the distance and, confirming that his current speed wasn't enough to carry the others out, stopped where he was and, without turning around, said to the boy behind him:

"Naraku, whatever happens next, please keep it a secret for me."

"?"

Before Naraku could answer, an intense spiritual pressure erupted like the sun, and a huge pillar of light shot into the sky.

For a fleeting moment, the roar of the mountains and forests, the falling dust, the surging winds, the rising lava, and the cracked earth all came to a standstill.

It seemed to be frozen by some powerful force.

The next moment, several fine streaks spread from Aizen's feet, extending straight up into the sky, reaching the horizon.

Aizen's pupils glowed with an electric blue light as his spiritual pressure surged to its limit. He stood calmly amidst the endless waves of magma, his expression serene, like a god looking down upon the world.

"Binding Path No. 81: Severing Emptiness".

High-sequence binding path, abandon chanting!

The ground groaned under the strain, and one solid, invisible barrier after another rose from the earth, sealing off all directions and keeping out the terrifying heatwave.

They didn't even spare the ground beneath their feet; a defense that left no blind spots was instantly constructed.

Naraku Sora stared in shock at everything that was happening before her.

It's not closed?

He thought he had overestimated Aizen as much as possible, but he still underestimated this overpowered guy.

What does it mean for a newbie Death God to start at level four Spirit Might?

What does it mean to break the chant and release the six-in-one high-sequence binding path?

What does it mean that the enemy's meticulous planning is utterly ineffective in front of Sora Amon?

Standing before the towering, abrupt cliff face, with surging lava seemingly within arm's reach, as if it could engulf them at any moment.

However, no matter how hard it tried, it could not break through that insurmountable barrier.

Beside him, Aizen's expression was solemn and complex.

He has always kept his talent and strength hidden.

From the day he enrolled in the Shinigami Academy, he had already completed his disguise in front of others.

He did this because he realized that he was on a completely different level from other outstanding, even genius, death gods.

He is a true outlier.

Looking at the history of Soul Society, no Shinigami has achieved such accomplishments during their time at the Spirit Arts Academy.

Putting aside his spiritual pressure talent, the Kido that ordinary Shinigami struggle with is nothing more than a simple technique that he can easily master.

The same applies to other aspects.

However, due to an unexpected crisis, he prematurely revealed his secret to his friends.

What will Naraku think?

Will we become estranged because of his concealment?

Or rather, reveal his secret to the public?

If it really comes to that, perhaps there will be no place for him in Soul Society anymore.

Those nobles would not tolerate an existence completely beyond their control, much less a grim reaper deliberately concealing himself.

At that time, I'm afraid I'll have no choice but to abandon everything in Soul Society and head to the human world or Hueco Mundo.

Aizen took a deep breath, looked at Naraku Sora beside him, and was about to speak when he heard someone click their tongue in amazement:

"Truly worthy of being called the Dragon of Documents!"

Aizen: "?"

What does it mean to bring up that incredibly embarrassing title again under these circumstances?

Is now the time to talk about documents?

Are you sick?

Aizen took a deep breath, trying to calm his wildly fluctuating emotions, to prevent himself from drawing his sword and killing the reckless guy next to him.

"After seeing all this, don't you have anything to say?"

He pointed to the void barrier that completely enveloped the two of them, as well as the materialized spiritual pressure surrounding their bodies.
